Bioshock has become a video game hit. The Xbox360 game sold extremely well and was a certified hit for the system and just recently, Playstation 3 owners finally got the chance to play this awesome game a few months ago. There has been a sequel in the works for some time and the excitement and anticipation for the second game in the series is growing with every leaked screenshot and tidbit of information.

The initial offering had a great blend of shooter, horror and puzzle mixture. There was a lot of darkness and the sounds were very spine tingling. As you search the disaster of the underground city of Rapture, there is all this awful screaming all around, and there's the feeling that reality is suspended.

The utopia, the perfect civilization has been a dream of man for centuries, and philosophers have spoken of this perfect place. One man had the foresight, the know-how, the vision to make it happen and he built that city under the sea where it couldn't be touched by the imperfect governments and countries of so called civilized man. He gave the residents the freedom to do what they wanted; the scientists had nothing stopping them from their creations.

The player walks into this scenario, you must discover Rapture with all it's mysteries and horrors and try to solve it. As you attempt to find the solution there are dark hallway, enemies, traps and giant protectors to threaten you along the way.

It is one of the most exciting, action packed games that I have played in a long time and the upgrade system and weapon system is one of the most fun I've seen in a while.

American punk rock trio, Green Day, is scheduled for a worldwide release of their new eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, on May 15, 2009. The new CD is under the label Reprise Records. The new CD is the first album by Green Day that is chiefly produced by the well-known producer and member of the band Garbage, Butch Vig.

In an interview with Kerrang!, Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer, mentions that 21st Century Breakdown takes more of a religious turn then their previous albums. Armstrong also stated that they were influenced by legends such as The Beatles, Queen, The Who, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, The Clash, and Bruce Springsteen. The new CD, which is more power rock then punk rock, reflect on the past three years and creates melodies with bold statements. The American Idiot, rock opera style, is continued with this new album, as the lyrics are political with anti-war statements incorporated.

21st Century Breakdown is consists of three acts: Heroes and Cons, Charlatans and Saints, and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. It tells the story of a young couple, Christian and Gloria, and the challenges, of the 21st century, that they have faced during the reign of the 43rd president.

Know Your Enemy, the first single of the new album was released worldwide on April 16, 2009. And on April 6, a preview of the song lasting 90 seconds was used to introduce the 2009 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament Championship game.

Sophmore and junior releases for most performers can sink their careers, but The Killers have not suffered that fate as they have another outstanding album. The group from Las Vegas impressed all the critics with their first album in 2005. "Hot Fuss" moved up the charts and cemented them as a very hot act. Both rock fans and dance fans were drawn to this album due to the unusual mix of techno and rock.

The Killers followed a very changed artistic path for the next release, "Sam's Town," which proved to show they weren't a one sound group and could use different styles. Even though it had a very different tone, it still was a Killers album. In the scheme of things this release reached the same height and score as "Hot Fuss," but was such a different sound that it may have reached a whole new audience who'd not heard the first one.

After a quick cash in on some b-sides with last years "Sawdust," which for other bands would have been a-side, the new album released to huge anticipation and fanfare. "Day and Age" sounded like a Killers album should, but completely different than the first two albums. With new instruments and a more diverse sound in the songs that made the final cut on the album, it is exactly what a fan would want, and so much more. The songs sound more mature, less poppy, but more radio friendly than most of the songs on the last album.

If you've seen them live, these songs seem like they've been there all along, they mesh well with their past tracks. This indicates a group who are reaching their peak as the music on each new album improves and that in a live show the songs all flow together. They are good song writers, displaying tunes and lyrics that have power and emotion but are also fun to listen to.

The first two albums and this one are on similar accomplishment levels, but the future holds a lot of promise because their very best music is still out there. Do not miss a live show with The Killers, they give an awesome performance.

Since the Hobbit movies by Peter Jackson won't be out for a while, it's a good time to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy again. The theater is where most people saw it for the first time, then we all had to get the DVD's, and then of course we had to then have the extended directors edition.

My vulnerability for this trilogy has cost me three times in the past and it may happen again. Why would this happen? Because the trilogy will be released on Blu Ray and no one can ignore that. But this one is not the extended directors cut, so if you liked the version they showed at the movies and you don't want extra scenes go ahead and purchase this release. But if that's what you prefer you may be content just to keep your original DVD's from a few years ago.

Those of us who've bought three times may wait on this one and get the extended version on Blu Ray. They will release it and it'll probably get released during the opening date of the first Hobbit film. I'll invest in the trilogy then as the Blu Ray will be exceptional in looks and sound, plus seeing all the furry Hobbit feet will be very satisfying for us nerds who never get enough Lord of the Rings.

There was some extra content in the original releases but nothing like the extended versions. They had so much more content that fans of the books wanted to have on the movie. The fans had a picture in their heads from reading the books and they wanted to see if it translated the same as the directors version.

No one doubts that Peter Jackson in the most intense fan of the series, his care and talent showed in the wonderful adaptations he brought to the screen. I have no doubt that he will extend the same expertise to the Hobbit movies, but while we wait continue to watch the extended directors version you already have and wait on the Blu Ray version. If you must see it in HD, there's always the option of renting it from the store or borrowing it from a friend who didn't wait.

With all the different fighting games that have been released over the years, and on countless systems, it is hard to pick the best of the best. One of the series that has stood out above the rest is Tekken. The Tekken series has gotten better and better each installment. There has just been an arcade release of the seventh installment in Japan and will be coming stateside very soon as well as to our home consoles. In the mean time, we will have to get our fighting fix with the new Street Fighter game.

Street Fighter 4, released on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, has been getting rave reviews from numerous gaming publications. Even more important than the publications is the fans approval of the game, since the fans of the original games love this installment it can be considered a success.

Fans have started falling in love with the characters all over again. All of the original are back with a few new news in their mist. Along with the characters, all their signature moves have followed as well. The series really hit its stride with the second installment of Street Fighter, which was released into arcades in the early nineties. Due to the popularity of the game many sequels were made, as well as live action movies. Although the movies were not a huge success, the gaming fans enjoyed watching their favorite characters and moves come to life.

In Street Fighter 4, the graphics were updated, but kept looking like the original. Original characters look new again, and still retain their classic influence. Anyone who has ever played a Street Fighter game will be able to pick up the controller and get right to action, as the fighting feels new, but somehow familiar.

A great added feature to the new Street Fighter game is the ability to challenge people from all over the world, with an Internet hookup. Its the perfect way to test your skills and for suitable competitors.
